Your moms aunt Flo's 411


Recommended Posts

Yeah but,, it's either give me something to leave or i stand in their driveway in my barefeet, distracting them from ever getting anything done  ,,,,,,,, so unlike Cam Chancellor,,,,,, i hold the upper hand in that negotiation.

Drove up to Tacoma and got some replacement side cover (tappet cover) gaskets at Brooklands British auto parts today.. $3.00 a piece...  Installed the front one in,,  but probably going to have to take intake exhaust off to get rear one in ,, what a nightmare... Lost the camera wire so if you wanna see pictures you're going to have to drive over here.. 

 

Does anyone know if a MGB intake / exhaust gasket fit J13,,, even if it has a few fixable issues??  I know you can use MGB exhaust manifold but not sure if gasket is the same-ish ... Probably going to pick one up Monday but thought i would ask anyways.

I'm thinking of grinding down the mounting point for the exhaust/intake for clearance and running a set of MGB SUs,, on this old I13 of science.

 

It probably wouldn't make the thing look less ghey ,,,, but you never know.

I thought there was a 411 around here somewhere...

 

 

I can only do easy fixes right now  because my family harvests cranberries this time of year,, and if machinery breaks down the only places for them to grind / weld it  there ,, is full of food......  Sooooo even though it is a 4 hour round trip the real heavy repairs have to be done in my shed..   I have been driving it around enjoying it quite a bit , but the wing window rubbers are worn out so don't wanna drive it in the rain much yet. ( drove it in rain to the beach 2 hours away last weekend though) .. It is only the second Datsun i have ever owned that was driveable within a month of purchase ,,which is weird,,  i can assure you, heavy updates are coming ,, real soon. 

 

But for now i am going to be rolling long distances in the 83 280ZX tttt-turbo.

 

 

today
